Austria’s incumbent telephone operator, Telekom Austria, currently signs up
an average of 1,000 new households each week for its IPTV service, aonTV, and
hopes to extend aonTV coverage to 50% of the country’s population by the end of
this year.

Telekom Austria is aiming to expand its IPTV content portfolio to around 100
channels by late 2008. It has also announced an agreement with On Demand
Deutschland that will see aonTV’s Video On Demand lineup swell to more than 500
movies within the same timeframe.

The cost of aonTV will remain at just EUR 4.90 per month, when bundled with a
Telekom Austria broadband connection.
